Integrated Development Environment
IDLE
(
Integrated Development Environment
) is a simple Python development
tool designed for programming in Python. Python is an easy-to-learn, highly
readable, and general purpose programming language. Raspbian also includes
IDLE 3, a version of IDLE that supports the newer Python 3 programming language.
IDLE incorporates an editor, a debugger, and a Python shell all in one easy-to-use
application. The IDLE editor has built-in syntax highlighting, auto completion,
and smart indenting. It integrates with the Python debugger to allow quick and
easy debugging.
The IDLE shell
A nice bonus is that Raspbian includes many excellent games that are written in
Python; you can find them at
/home/pi/python_games
. Simply open them up in
IDLE and click on run.
